Local development plan of The Cairngorms National Park

[Iain MacInnes – Presenter] Now, from next week, there will be a call for the public to give their views about a local development plan in the Cairngorms National Park. According to the park, the plan aims to make the communities more settled in the area by building new houses and developing services, like broadband. Here’s Donald Angie Morrison.

[Donald Angie Morrison – Reporter] The consultation about the Cairngorms National Park local development plan will begin next Monday. The plan is looking at how infrastructure and services in the area should be developed in the five years to come.

[Eleanor Matheson] We’re putting out the local development plan to consultation to allow communities, developers, land-owners anybody out there to have a chance to comment on it.

[Donald Angie Morrison – Reporter] The plan has not been without controversy, though. Campaigners in the area have opposed plans for affordable housing to be built as they say that it will harm the environment of the area. The park’s trust does not agree with that, though and they say that the area must have affordable houses. And they hope to do that in a fitting way.

[Eleanor Matheson] They want the right development in the right place. They don’t want housing development stuck on the edge of the villages. They want it all to be part of, you know, the existing culture and that’s what we’re striving to achieve with this local development plan.

[Donald Angie Morrison – Reporter] And seemingly the hope to develop the services like the area’s broadband.

[Eleanor Matheson] It would support a much better economy, I think, if there was more home-working. But before that can be achieved, there has got to be huge improvements in broadband cover and mobile phone cover, which is, at best, patchy throughout the park. I know there’s a lot of investment coming in for broadband, but it’s to ensure that these little glens are not forgotten about.

[Donald Angie Morrison – Reporter] The Park have been working with conservation groups to try and ensure that the plan will not harm the environment or animals of the area.

[Emily Edwards] We have been involved with this from the outset and we are very happy with how things are going. These figures, they make sense if the developments go ahead in the areas are fit.

[Donald Angie Morrison – Reporter] The consultation will be found on the National Park’s website until the Fifth of July. Donald Angie Morrison. BBC An Là.
